Description

This module exploits two vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS that
allow an unauthenticated attacker to create arbitrarily named files and execute
shell commands. Configuration requirements are PAN-OS with GlobalProtect Gateway or
GlobalProtect Portal enabled and telemetry collection on (default). Affected versions
include one hour to execute, depending on how often the telemetry service is set to run.
